Our Distillery, nestled below the high mountains in Lochranza bay, produces a delightful range of whiskies without the use of peat in our process or caramel for artificial colouring - thus ensuring our products are true to the character of the Island and as such are 'the true spirit of nature'.

No peat? I thought the peat is one of the prime reasons Scotch is Scotch?

Scotch reminds me of a certain crazy, red-headed, Sgt in the Marine Corps Reserve , that was built like a peat outhouse, and drank Scotch in milk.

Maybe they mean "no peat in the process" i.e. artificially added. The water up there certainly runs through peat bogs, that's where they all are on Arran.
The island malts tend to be more peaty (that oily flavour): the highland ones less so.

So the peat flavor comes from the water and the island water has a stronger flavor than the highlands?
Do they char the barrels with a peat fire?
